2.4.0 ne2k-pci lockup

Hey,
  After upgrading from -test11 to 2.4.0, I find that under heavy network
load the eth0 interface seems to lockup... with the following output in
dmesg:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x97, t=18556.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x3, t=283.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x3, t=56.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x3, t=56.

  This just happened while I was scp'ing a 50meg file across the network,
but has happened a couple of times in the last few days just after opening
netscape navigator (i have an isdn line, so the traffic wouldnt have been
particularly heavy in this case). If I ifdown/ifup eth0, it makes no
difference... nor if i remove & re-insert the ne2k-pci module as well.

dual-proc p3 600, 512meg ram

when it happens again?
